It is built on both sides of the Strait of Euripus, one part on the island of Evia and the other on mainland Greece.

Elena and her parents are gracious hosts, helpful beyond all expectations and the villa is simply stunning ! We were very happy during our time at Villa Verde and it is exactly as beautiful as the pictures portray ! You will need a car as it is secluded. There are a couple of tavernas about a mile away but other than that we ventured to the trendy beach bars of Drosia beach and Chalkida. Both of which are about 10 min drive / 20 Euros in a cab. We also ate in Agios Minas which has a number of restaurants, again on a beautiful beach with stunning views. The views from the villa are spectacular and there are many bays to pull up and appreciate the area. We spent a few days on Ipokampos beach which again.... is beautiful (there is a theme to this review!). If you want a relaxing break in a stunning secluded environment, but with places close enough to venture to, then book this Villa. Elena and her parents are an added bonus as they could not have been lovelier or more concerned to ensure we had a great time.

We just got back from a large family trip to Greece, and our stay at Villa Verde was nothing short of perfect. Elena and her parents were simply wonderful, helping us with anything that we might need at any moment. Elena, in particular, was always available and incredibly sweet as she answered my steady stream of questions in the weeks leading up to our stay. The house itself is charming and the grounds, spectacular. The pool feels like something out of the Great Gatsby! Our guests wanted to experience swimming in the sea, so the rocky beach across the street--which was pretty clean when compared to the public beaches further north along the coast--and the sandy Alykes Beach just 15 minutes down the road gave them ample opportunity. The villa comes with all you might need in terms of cooking equipment, bath and pool towels, and there's a decent grocery store in nearby Drosia for food and other random needs. We loved the location for being only a few hours to places like Delphi, downtown Athens, and Meteora. What we didn't expect, however, is the abundant wildlife and the beautiful starlit skies at night at the villa. I could've watched the birds all day long! One suggestion would be to get a rental car--and you do definitely need a car--that can handle rocky, dirt roads as this area has a lot of those. Also make sure your rental car has a spare tire (ours didn't) in case of a flat. Lastly, we were traveling with a 2-year old who couldn't quit fit in the crib at the house, so be sure to have a backup plan in case your little one is too big for the bamboo crib provided. All in all, we wouldn't hesitate to come back again. It's a magical place!

The sea water is moving for 6 hours north , for 6 hours south, and for 1 hour hours they stay stable. It is said that this phenomenon is created by the position of the moon. But still sometimes the sea water is not moving exactly on those numbers. The region was named like this because of Evripos. He jumped into the sea water and committed suicide because, according to the ancient sources, he couldn't explain the phenomenon.
Chalkida is a very organized city, where many services and restaurants, cafes, night clubs, hospital, doctors, shopping areas etc., are available. There is also located an archaeological museum. Not very far from Chalkida is also located the region of Avlida, where the Greek navy fleet started its trip for the was in Troy. On the region is also the remain of the archaeological temple of Artemis, where king Agamemnon, sacrificed his daughter Iphigenia, with purposed of a safe trip, winds on the trip to Troy.

We stay at apartments during three weeks. The experience of staying at Athina's apartment was very good. Apartment was as it looks at the pictures. Athina and her parents (Vasilis and Katherina) were very hospital and always helped upon our request. Athina prepared a lot of additional things for us and for our little child (welcome dinner, toys, baby cot and other and other). She was so hospital that she spent with us half a saturday to show us markets, supermarkes, restaurants and other important things for family which were situated nearby. The place where the apartment is situated is very silence There are very few people at the beach also. The apartment is situated at the first line from the sea with the direct exit to the sea. The seaview from the balcony of apartment is amazing. It is always beatiful. It doesn't matter which weather (sunny, cloudy or rainy). The place is special. It something like bay with very calm water. Sometimes we thought that we stayed at the lake Como (who was there would underastand). We could surely advise to stay at Athina's place to families with children. Thank you Athina.

It is a great quiet place by the sea&mountain with amazing view to spend your holidays! It is great for couples, solo adventurers, and families (with kids). It is incredible to be in the living room or balcony and enjoy the sea that surrounds the house at the front side or just enjoy the mountain view on the back. In the afternoon the sunset right in front of you looks amazing.

Marias place is perfect if you want piece and quiet, it has an amazing view. Maria informed us that we were the first guests to stay so the house was not 100% ready, but I am sure once she fixes the small issues it will be perfect. The communication between us was perfect.

The house is situated on a 6000sq.m. (1 ½ acre) lot on the seafront, and consists of comfortable rooms to stay in (two levels) as well as places for exercising and doing sports.

The house is isolated from passer-byes, in an area with clean waters and a rich natural and cultural environment, and located across from a uninhabitable green island where one can get to only by boat. There is a graveled road (300m) which leads to the house from the main road, named Glafkos Pontios street, which according to the mythology and local traditions, it is where the semi-god Glafkos Pontios or Glafkos the Anthedonian, son of the ancient god of the sea Poseidon and of a Naiada nymph of fresh waters , or according to another myth, that of King Anthedona, who established the ancient city of Anthedona, and Alkionis, daughter of Aeolus, the god of the winds.
Glafkos, in ancient mythology, is described as a human from the waist up and a fish from the waist down (a merman). According to the ancient myths , Glafkos is the protector of seafarers, as happened with Jason’s ship in the Argonautic venture when sailing through a very dangerous passage, between Scylla and Charibdis (see Philostratus of Lemnios “Glafkos Pontios”). Nearby there is a place called “Glafkos Jump” where according to the ancient traveler Pausanias, Glafkos tried in vain to jump into the sea in order to commit suicide because of him being tired of his immortality. His name means “Light Blue the Seafarer”, which represents the blue color of the Greek sky when it is reflected on the surface of the Greek sea waters.
Obviously, this myth is associated to the fact that habitants of ancient Anthedona had a close relationship with the sea and in Homer’s years many of them were divers who fished “haustellum brandaris or “Porfires” (in Greek) shells from which porpura, a dark red color was produced, and materials were in those days dyed in.
It was impossible not to take into consideration all the above in order to build the house which is not separated from the sea and the beach with any artificial element (road or compound) but is a continuation of it. The occupants of this house stand on land while their feet are wet by the sea, just like imaging happened to Glafkos Pontios when he once stood there. Even to today, the beach at that point, cannot be accessed but only through the lot of the house. Rarely will you see anyone walking by since the morphology of the coast is not approachable. However, in any case the house provides and has configured a private beach on the lot with environmentally-friendly structures (an outdoor barbeque, a sink, a shower and a small storage place for swim stuff).
Eastward and westward of the lot, only 100 meters away, there are more hidden sandy beaches, where one can take a nice and quiet swim. Towards the west, 700 meters away, two jetties have been salvaged from one of most ancient ports in the Mediterranean (the port of ancient Anthedona). The marine force of ancient Anthedona is mentioned for the first time from Homer, in the list of ships that took part in the Trojan War, in Iliad B, verses 498 and 500.
Towards the south, 2 km away, is the nearest village (Anthedona or Loukisia), where you can find a bakery, a supermarket and three taverns with Greek traditional cuisine. Eastwards, 4 km away, is an area called “Alikes” which is a well-organized beach area with a lot of sea sport facilities and well-set up leisure establishments which makes it a magnet mostly for younger people.
Towards the east, 10 km away, lies the contemporary and touristic city of Chalkida with a population of 60.000. It provides extensive infrastructure and services (banks, a hospital, shops, specialized doctors, restaurants, coffee places, etc.). There is a new archaeological museum with substantial exhibits which was inaugurated in 2016. What’s more, there is a unique phenomenon: In the center of the city where the mainland meets the island of Evia, there is small distance of water (50m) which separates them with a beautiful bridge. At that specific place the water runs forcefully and gathers violently in the narrow channel forming whirlpools. Although the intensity of the current varies and its timing changes according to the phases of the moon, it maintains a basic recurrence, with the waters running 6 hours one way and 6 hours the other way, complying always and only to the calling of the moon. The solution to the mystery of recurrence and that of the phenomenon in general, was Euripus’ goal in life in the ancient times. But, in vain. In the end, depressed, he committed suicide falling in the onrush waters and in this way, without knowing, gave his name to the strait.
On the way to Chalkida, one can also visit the archaeological site of the temple of the goddess Artemis in Aulis, where according to Homer Iphigenia, the daughter of the king Agamemnona, was sacrificed in order for fair winds to blow and for the Greek ships which were impatiently waiting in the nearby bay to sail off so they could reach desirable Troy. Note that in a small theater near the temple, among things, the great tragedy of Euripides “Iphigenia in Aulis” is performed and if you are lucky, you might be able to see it at the same place where the tragedy happened 4000 years ago.
Towards the east, 25 km away, is located the city of Eretria, which has many hotel installations and is distinguished for its well-kept ancient theater. In the north of Evia, 70 km away, is the village Prokopi which is worldwide known for its orthodox Christian peregrination of the Russian Saint John.
Athens, the capital of Greece is 80 km south. There is a big airport as well as all the services a European capital might have. Of course, it is worthwhile visiting the archaeological site of Acropolis which is a monument of worldwide cultural heritage as well as the new archaeological museum which was built in 2004 near the Acropolis and is unique in regard of its exhibits which relate to the ancient Greek civilization.
About 100 km eastwards (1 ½ hour by car) lies another monument of worldwide cultural heritage, the religious center of ancient Greece, the Oracle of Delphi, and a museum with substantial exhibits.

Dear Vasilis and your family, It was a pleasure meeting you all, and it is certainly a pleasure to say how wonderful our stay in the villa was. The villa is exactly as pictured on the website with fantastic views of the sea and the mountains behind it. It was designed and built by the architect and is luxurious. The garden surrounding the villa has many olive, fig and plum trees. We were welcome to pick the figs at any time we saw them ripe. The interior of the villa was again as presented on the pictures, rooms were comfortable and had lots of storage in all of them. All was spotlessly clean, linen and towels generously supplied. On our arrival we were welcomed and taken around the property, all facilities were explained in the tiniest detail. The kitchen was not just well equipped, it was fully equipped with all possible options for cooking, food preparation and dining. Not to mention the separate area for the BBQ - all prepared to start the fire and grill your food. When booking the villa we were expecting quiet surroundings, away from the city traffic and crowds of tourists - and this is exactly what we received. The villa is located just a few minutes walk from the beach and the local tavern, a mini-mart and a stall where we could buy the best tomatoes ever. All the fruit and veg, fish, eggs and meat were in fact from the local farmers. What more would you ask for? If you feel like you miss the big town buzz, you can make a day trip to Athens (just over 1 hr away) and Delphi (1.5 hrs), the next most visited destination in Greece. Chalkida, a pretty seaside town, is also just 20 min away. We were also offered a car to rent, so we could explore all local villages and neighbouring towns. As with any car things can happen, and we had a small hiccup with the battery. It died. The very next day, however, the battery was replaced - a quick and prompt action by Vasilis and his parents to make sure that our plans were not frustrated. During our stay we experienced two sudden thunderstorms, hot weather and winds and at night we were falling asleep to the sound of crickets. In the morning, after opening the shutters (all windows had an up/down switch), we could feel the breeze through the whole house and enjoy the freshly roasted coffee that we could buy in the local village. Thank you very much for making our stay an enjoyable and great experience. We wish we could stay there longer.

The hosts are fantastic - they helped us to get the house easily, Vasilis provided us mobile Internet (which one should pay extra but is not so much) because there is not a cable for Internet, they made us feel so comfortable and welcome. The house is big, everything is exactly as it is described and shown on the pictures. The yard in front of the house is planed nice and it looks even better than the profile picture of the villa. The kids loved the two wood swings and the hammock. There is a fully equipped barbeque, two sets of table and chairs outside of the house - for having dinner or coffee outside during the nice evening breeze. The game room which is located at the basement has windows and it is filled with natural light and we spent a lot of time there - playing table tennis. My teenage daughter enjoyed the sound system of the house and the nice music collection which our host prepared for their guests. There are speakers even outside the house so we could listen nice music while we were having dinner outside of the house at the comfortable table for 8 pax. The house has 3 bedrooms with double bed in each and one of them has an extra bed which is not folded but regular. It is comfortable for a family with small kid who sleeps with their mom and dad. Another couple could sleep comfortably on the sofa at the living room. There is a big kitchen - fully equipped and we were nicely surprised by the dish washer. The location is very good - one can get the beach on foot for 10 minutes’ walk. This beach is pebbled and there are just few people. We were going each day to another one - 5 minutes’ drive by car where the beach is sandy (not fine sand but it is much better than the pebbles) next to an olive trees garden which provides shade during the day. I recommend this house to everyone and would love to come back again. All of us (we were party of 7) enjoyed our staying and got great vacation there. Thank you, Vasilis, Gregory and Claire!!!

Welcome! 'The Marble Resort' -just 1hr from Athens- is a heavenly-like retreat which encapsulates the richness of the island spirit, but being off the tourist path. It consist of 3 luxury Villas: Coral, Acanthus and Emerald and hosts up to 19 guest.

THE MARBLE RESORT in Evia province (near Chalkida town) epitomizes the true meaning of VIP, family or business holidays steeped in luxury and privacy and is off the typical tourist path. THE MARBLE RESORT hosts up to 19 guests and consists of "Coral Villa" (180m2, 9 guests), "Acanthus Villa" (180m2, 7 guests) and "Emerald Villa" (75m2, 3 guests) placed amidst 3.000m2 of magnificent Mediterranean gardens, which can be rented separately or in any combination.
Next to the cerulean sea-waters and the swimming pool, it lures its guests into a private world of peace and serenity with top class Facilities, Amenities and attractively designed rooms.
THE MARBLE RESORT property complex has been recognized as one of the most beautiful luxury villas in Greece by Andrew Martin's "Interior Design" magazine (13th Edition).

We took all three villas for our family of 18 - all adults and one teenager - for a week. It was too beautiful for words. Sophia received us and also came early the last morning to say goodbye, and was readily available by phone for every question large or small. The resident housekeeper, Gurmel, was kind and helpful in every way. We did our own shopping and cooking and had never seen such well equipped kitchens in our lives. The pool was perfect, large and clean, the nearby beaches were great (but the strip of beach right at the villas was rocky and challenging, tho once you got past the rocks the water was fine). Sitting at the water's edge with the mountains ringing the bay, the quiet serenity, the lack of tourists (!) - it was just heavenly. We had rented cars and did a few excursions - left us wanting more. On the last evening we wanted to celebrate a round birthday of one of our group and with Sophia's help we hired a band - two musicians - a bouzouki and a guitarist/vocalist - for a couple of hours of live Greek music right there around the outdoor table and pool - and that was an unforgettable windup to our spectacular vacation. The only down side for me (the oldest person there) was that all the bedrooms and bathrooms are up or down a 17-step staircase from the ground floor of kitchens and living rooms (except for the small, one-bedroom ground floor villa). We did discover the toilet and shower by the pool but that was not right by the villas. The younger people didn't mind that at all. I give this place the highest possible recommendation.
